Apples and Pot Lucks

1. Thank you so much for your suggestions for books for Andrew. I ordered several of them, and I think we are off to a good start. It is sometimes so hard to find books for younger boys isn't it? Or maybe it's just because I'm a girl and know the go-to girl books.

2. Early apples are out, did you know? Jersey Mac's are my favorite. They are crisp and sour-ish and give you a stomach ache if you eat more than six in a day. How would I know? Oh, I know.

3. Abbey and her friends had a pot luck at the park the other day. I think that is the cutest thing ever. She and her friend built a cake.

"I don't know, build her a cake or something." I love Pedro!Just a side from your last post, I saw that someone recommended the Ready Freddy series. In my experience, I don't like those books for my kids. Freddy and his sister are always fighting and calling each other names. It is just ugly.

Seriously, loved your post! #2 had me laughing out loud! I could use some mom math to get us through this next year. $50,000 student loan, over 100 applications and resumes sent out and not a single job offer.

Oh Sarah...you have just made my day with this post. Mostly because I feel exactly the same about #2 there and on #4, I laughed out loud. That is the first question out of my kiddos mouths when I tell them they have doctors appts. We just finished 4 dental appts today and had yearly physicals last week. So here's what we have:5 dental appts.4 yearly physicals3 cavity fillings2 vaccines ANDa partridge in a pear tree.

Sarah - Ive been reading your blog for a few years and have never commented, however after seeing Nancy Drew on your sidebar it brought a huge smile to my face! My mom gave me her collection of Nancy Drew from when she was a little girl! Im 25, but I had to bust out those books and im going to start reading the series again!! They are oh-so-good!!

When our first baby was placed in my arms I knew there was no place I wanted to be other than home with him every day. Twenty two years, and five more babies later, (six children, now ages 22-4), I still feel the same. I can’t imagine a more challenging, fulfilling, rewarding “job” than being a mom. It truly is a vocation, and I feel blessed beyond measure.
